    I asked the Trump supporters on here the same question MANY times and not once have they ever replied, so I'll ask you.......Is it strange for you to have the players of your favorite NBA team have a COMPLETELY different view/opinion on all of this? To know that they don't agree with you AT ALL? You are so emotionally invested in this team that you joined this forum, yet you spew this hate on here that goes against everything they believe in. It must be an odd feeling to root for people that don't share your values.

    Turns out the world is full of people who all have different opinions on different subjects. Crazy I know. You should re read your post and realize how stupid and exclusive it is. Basketball is a sport and that’s it, period. You think it’s “strange” that people with various opinions all might enjoy the same sport and root for the same team regardless of political ideologies? Scary stuff FAMS!!!

    I understand that people have different opinions. Thats not what I asked. I asked what it's like cheering, supporting and rooting for people that have nothing in common with your ideology and beliefs. I don't think I could do that.

    Maybe that’s a problem you should work on? It’s called living on a planet with other humans.

    Gee, I think I know why those Trump supporters never answered your question. You called them haters right out of the gate. Get a clue.

    Do you consider yourself a Marxist? If not, how can you root for Black Lives Matter, which is an openly Marxist organization?

    Nah, I call myself a human being who grew up surrounded by black people and would love to see them treated properly. Not sure what you would call that, but that's what I am. Where did YOU grow up?

    You dodged the question. How do you support a Marxist organization when you aren’t a Marxist? Isn’t that the issue you find so puzzling with me?

    They know they toss hate around here on a daily basis, they didn't need to point that out to them.

    You can call me whatever you want, as long as what I believe in is all about equality for everybody, I'm all for it. You seem to be against equality, so what do we call you?

    It's so weird how this is being talked about all the sudden, considering it's from a 5 year old video. It also builds on the mindset that most people don't A: know what Marxism is or B: assume it's the exact same as Communism.

    Either way, it's strange how it's become a conservative scare tactic for people who don't actually know that much about it.

    Funny thing is, I don't know what a Marxist is.....but if it's the opposite of what Trump supporters/anti BLM are, I'm all in.

    That’s hilarious that you don’t know what Marxism is. Better educate yourself fast.

    You must be equally puzzled when liberals pull up old videos of people in blackface.

    I am. But the difference is, I understand why blackface is wrong and shouldn't be defended.

    How do you support nazis who are anti blm movement. Marxism isn’t the agenda of blm but is a philosophy that people are free to learn things from. We didn’t go to war with Christian Americans over Jim Jones and his purple koolaid either. Democracy is tolerant and Christian commie cold wars are not what racial profiling or violent police states are creating for minorities but. You know this. You just fear black freedom of expression if it doesn’t follow your personal agenda. Get woke
